Tango Nuevo Couple - in this case BA Tango.

the musical father of "nuevo tango," bandoneón virtuoso Ástor Piazzolla.

New tango music and dance are examples of constantly evolving forms of Argentine tango. In time, the tango nuevo elements become incorrporated into the main body of tango and, inevitably, become traditional.

One of the recent examples of the tango nuevo music was the incorporation of jazz and classical music into tango music. The most important composer of this style was Ástor Piazzolla, who revolutionized tango by introducing new instruments (e.g. saxophone, electric guitar) and new forms of harmonic and melodic structures into the traditional tango ensemble. The latest wave in new tango is consisted of the fusion between electronic sound and the tango language. Some examples are Tanghetto, Bajofondo, Electrocutango and Gotan Project.

In the late 2000s, the tango nuevo dance covers all improvised (but leadable) moves possible considering the traditional base dance moves of Argentine tango. Some dancers also adopt leadable elements of other dance forms like Salsa, Ballroom and Swing. Tango nuevo dancers include Gustavo Naveira, Chicho Frumboli, Fabián Salas, Sebastián Arce, BA Tango or Homer Ladas. Tango nuevo as a dance, can be performed with music which can be either traditional tango or more contemporary music different from tango.
